White Backdrop To-Do (or To-Don’t)

Every once in a while I like to do a check-in of sorts on where I am with getting all of my costumes shot on the white backdrop. Here's a roundup of what I still have NOT gotten done, why, and what I need to do to be able to shoot it. This is really for my own benefit but you can read along too if you're really curious. Things ...

im not sick but im not well

Another weird week. Didn't go out for New Year's - that's not new, we haven't gone out in years - but we also still didn't have Christmas because half the family is still covid positive. My mom finally tested negative this morning. Last week we had Cath & family staying with us for a couple of days. We really need to roll back the carpet in Kevin's room, tighten up ...

Wedding Leia photoshoot!

Ok here it is! I didn't put these in my weekly post earlier today because it was already really long and I felt like these deserved their own dedicated post. Took these Sunday before last at my parents' house. Same place we shot Ewok Leia back in 2007 -- but for Ewok Leia we actually went into the woods and wasn't going to do that this time. The front yard's trees ...

Outside of the photoshoot I have basically done nothing except play Star Wars Lego. Let's start with the interesting stuff - photoshoot results! Hild Ok so Hild even after being let out does not ...

photoshoot pics yay

Well it took me longer than I thought to get the rest of these cropped and uploaded but here they are at last. Started the shoot with Dapper Leia because I wanted my "real hair" costumes to go first. I forgot to do any pics with my sunglasses but not too upset about it because I really didn't like the sunglasses I bought for these, they were too skinny. Next ...

no resolutions

I generally don't make New Year's resolutions anymore, but I saw somebody say their resolution is to "pet more dogs" and that's what I'm going to use from now on if anybody asks about my new year's resolution. I didn't post last week which was not great because now I have to try to remember everything that happened Christmas weekend. Work just ended up being super busy the day I ...

heathcliff, it’s me, i’m cathy

I'm losing my sanity. I keep trying to keep good and positive thoughts about the state of things and tell myself things will be back to normal in XX amount of time but it never happens. I feel like I'm staring into an abyss. All right now that I've got that out of my system let's talk about what I did this past week. The first part of my Sailor ...

this house has people in it

Welcome to Groundhogs Day where it's Monday in 2020 again and nothing has changed. I actually do have quite a bit of content to share today though. Let's start with random stuff from the past week. First up, we got our ruggable! I really love it! It's going in our bedroom at the foot of our bed, and this week we're going to go pick out paint to repaint the bedroom ...

its my birthday too

I think I'm going to have to change my weekly post date. Mondays have become too hectic. I like to post Mondays because the most stuff happens over the weekend, so I remember most everything. But I think I'm going to have to start looking at Tuesday or something. But I'm here to try to get a quick post out today. I've still been slogging through the photoshoot pics. Both ...

ayyy yo

Sorry for no post last week. I really didn't have anything to post so I decided to wait. Aaaand... as of today I still don't have much of anything to post. I've spent the last 10 DAYS taking photos but have nothing to show for it. (Yet) I did not expect my little dragoncon weekend project to take 10 days. I thought I'd be able to do it all in the 4 days ...
